Palma Court Sentences Seven ‘Los Sheriff’ Members in 2021 Son Gotleu Shooting After Plea Deals

Victims plan to appeal, arguing the plea reduced charges, yielding lenient terms.

Overview

  • The Audiencia de Palma accepted plea agreements and imposed roughly 15 to 16 years in total prison time on seven defendants for the 2021 attack on the rival Fernández Moreno family known as Los Pelúos.
  • Two defendants received up to five years and six months, and the others were sentenced to between six months and two years for attempted homicide, threats, and illegal weapons possession.
  • Court records describe shots fired into a home with a seven-month-old baby and three children present, one victim shot in the back, and assailants entering the flat and ordering the family patriarch to leave Mallorca.
  • The defendants deposited €6,000 in compensation for one injured victim, which the prosecutor cited as a highly qualified repair of harm.
  • The private accuser joined the case late and was limited to adhering to the prosecution’s proposal, while Los Pelúos patriarch Juan Antonio Fernández Moreno condemned the outcome and pledged an appeal, noting charges were pared back including a reduction from four attempted homicides to one and the removal of the criminal-group count.
